  • 🌟 Amazing Retinol Results! 💛
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I absolutely love the Paula’s Choice CLINICAL 1% Retinol Treatment — it’s powerful yet surprisingly gentle when used right! My skin looks smoother, brighter, and more even, and those fine lines around my eyes have noticeably softened. 🌙✨ The texture absorbs beautifully without feeling greasy, and the added peptides and vitamin C make it feel like a full anti-aging treatment in one bottle. I’ve gotten that healthy “retinol glow” everyone talks about — highly recommend for anyone serious about youthful, radiant skin! ... show more

  • Best product I have tried for retinols
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
His product is the best one I have ever tried. I am in love with this product. I will buy it time and time again. I'm really pleased with the results. It is strong but it does not irritate my skin. If I use a moisturizer buffer, it lasted me almost 6 months using one solid pump each day. Fantastic product. Fantastic results. Two bottles should last me one full year making my skin care routine. Easy to maintain. Fair price for The results. ... show more

Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have used this for a few weeks and seen a pretty much instant change. After the first night, i woke with a couple spots of acne, but my skin was very soft and looked well hydrated. After this, i didn't get more acne and my skin condition stayed healthy and glowy (in a good way, not oily). I am not a teenager or at an age where I'm prone to acne so it might cause more acne for someone else, but i imagine that is just a phase. I recommend this lotion ... show more

  • Great product! Don’t love the price
Size: 0.16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
PROS: great product! I have large pores, I’m prone to blackheads in my T-zone area, and also have always had horrible redness in my T-zone and within a week of using I noticed a slight difference in the appearance of my pores, my blackheads have gotten a tad better and my redness was almost completely gone. My face looked noticeably brighter and less dull. My husband said my skin was glowing! It’s light on your skin which is great because I have extremely oily skin and most products make me so oily I end up having to wash it off. This however did not which I loved. CONS: The bottle is sooo small. By the time you start noticing a change it’s empty. I realize there is a bigger bottle but I can’t always afford that one as they are quite pricey. Overall, I do really enjoy this product. I had no reaction to it and it was my first time using any kind of retinol. FYI, I did put a light moisturizer on right before I applied to create a barrier for the first week or so, after that I started applying without and had no issues. I will continue to use this product as I am pleased with the results but I will branch out and try similar products that may be less expensive 🙂 ... show more

  • For first time users just be careful with this stuff!
Size: 0.16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Make sure you are prepared for this treatment with plenty of hydrating products - serums, moisturizers and oils. My coconut oil saved me through this whole process! Choice coconut oil - Nutiva - it's right here on amazon so add it to your cart after adding this retinol! It has 50% lauric acid in it and is non gmo, organic, cold pressed, non-comedegenic and smells absolutely divine! I cannot recommend this coconut oil enough!!! My skin would have been a complete mess without it and that's why I wanted to open up my review with it. It was THAT important for me! This is my first high concentrated retinol and this stuff is intense. My skin is a little on the sensitive side so maybe that was the reason for my skin freaking out a little bit more than usual. It's a good thing they offer a small trial size for you to get a feel for it so you're not stuck with a full size that you won't be using in case it's not for you. My experience with this, I used it twice in a week as instructed to get your skin acclimated to it. A few days later I started seeing a little bit of peeling and then a few more days in came the rest: some redness, warm feeling and tightness. A little bit of itchiness due to the skin shedding but I understand this is normal especially if it's your first retinol peel. I must admit I was pretty freaked out. I was sensitive to cleansing so I stuck to a tepid/cool rinse and then added hydrating serums (Skinmedica hydrating complex), moisturizers (Skinmedica ceramide treatment) and globbed on coconut oil to lock it all in - this part felt the best! For a few days whenever I cleansed I would get a little bit red but then it would calm down after applying all of my products and about 30 minutes passed. If this is your first higher concentration of retinol keep it as far from your under eye area as possible! Your skin will get very tight once it starts kicking in and it does kinda pull around the orbital bone and looks like more wrinkles which can be utterly traumatizing! So protect the area with an eye cream and I'm serious when I say I globbed on the coconut oil - especially in this area where the under eye skin connects to the cheek skin. I cannot stress enough that stuff saved me through this whole process! When things start to look and feel too tight just keep on slopping it on and on and on! Gently massage it into areas that are reacting a little more than others. After everything my skin actually does appear a little more plumped. I don't have a lot of wrinkles so the state of those seem the same but that differs from person to person. I got this trial size to ultimately test the product with my skin type, not to expect miracle results from one use. Although if I got them that would have been a pleasant surprise! lol :P I'm glad I had off from work when all of this was happening because this was definitely not convenient! I'm personally not going to continue with this retinol, at least for now because I think a lesser concentration would be better to get acclimated to first. Didn't think it would be too bad because it's retinol not retin-a but the reaction I got seemed more like a retin-a for me. I'm a week in and the redness and sensitivity are gone. The peeling is in it's final stages. As far as results go I can actually see some subtle evening of the skin but I definitely need something gentler! However, I will say that the positive reviews and happy customers of this product do speak for themselves as many have had great results which was the inspiration behind my purchase of this product. Maybe further down the line I'll add it to my retinol routine but for now it's just a little much! I rate this at 3 stars because even though it did what you'd expect retinol to do and my skin really didn't agree with the concentration the subtle results were nice but not really worth the whole ordeal for me. ... show more
